Beer gut side effects

BoardsUser836

Aside from making you look pudgy and generally unhealthy looking, are there any other long term side effects to having a beer gut?

I think I am the only one out of my friends who is most active ( i cycle a lot) and my alcohol consumption would not be as great as theirs, hence the lack of beer belly.

There's a much higher risk of developing an umbilical hernia, and if/when the individual does take things in hand and loose the weight/belly, there's a good chance they'll be left with an amount of loose skin around their waist.
I have first-hand knowledge of both of these conditions.

I'd say most of the drawbacks have to do with how people will view you cuz you look chubby

Central obesity is associated with a statistically higher risk of heart disease, hypertension, insulin resistance, and Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (see below).[34] With an increase in the waist to hip ratio and overall waist circumference the risk of death increases as well.[35] Metabolic syndrome is associated with abdominal obesity, blood lipid disorders, inflammation, insulin resistance, full-blown diabetes, and increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease.[36][37][38][39] It is now generally believed that intra-abdominal fat is the depot that conveys the biggest health risk.[40][41]
